Does this mean I can shoot my BB gun on my property (with a safe back stop of course) even if my city has an ordinance against it?

Sec. 4. This act does not prohibit a city or a charter township from doing any of the following:

(a) Prohibiting the discharge of a pistol or other firearm within the jurisdiction of that city or charter township.

(b) Prohibiting the discharge of pneumatic guns in any area within the jurisdiction of the city or charter township that is so heavily populated as to make that conduct dangerous to the inhabitants of that area, except that an ordinance shall not prohibit the discharge of pneumatic guns at authorized target ranges, on other property where firearms may be discharged, or on or within private property with the permission of the owner or possessor of that property if conducted with reasonable care to prevent a projectile from crossing the bounds of the property.

Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days after the date it is enacted into law.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.

What you posted answers your own question, the act does not stop a city or charter township from prohibiting pneumatic guns from being discharged. Pretty much what this is saying is that even if you got your ducks in a row, you live a mile away from anyone else with a 50 ft tall back stop and have a military shooting range, your township still reserves the right to prohibit you shooting your bb gun at that location

Great post! Definite conformation of Snyder signature.

It also lists the brandishing bill as being signed.

I thought this part would allow it?

Except that an ordinance shall not prohibit the discharge of pneumatic guns at authorized target ranges, on other property where firearms may be discharged, or on or within private property with the permission of the owner or possessor of that property if conducted with reasonable care to prevent a projectile from crossing the bounds of the property.

It does answer the question, but you might want to reread the portion that I bolded.

Using a pneumatic gun on your own property can not be regulated away, as long as no projectile ever leaves your property.

Well...That leaves ALLOT of municipal codes that now need updating!
